Checkpoint Zero

In a world where reality resets like a broken system, every human is assigned a Rank that determines their place in society—until Kael awakens as an anomaly with no rank at all. When monsters born from corrupted timelines invade his city during the global “Awakening,” Kael discovers he is the only one who retains memory after death. Trapped in a world that keeps restarting itself, Kael must survive each reset, growing stronger through the fragments of his past deaths. But the more he remembers, the more the world begins to change—and something within the system starts treating him not as a player… but as an error that must be contained.
